High serum alpha-fetoprotein and positive immunohistochemistry of alpha-fetoprotein are related to poor prognosis of gastric cancer with liver metastasis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsLiver metastasis in gastric cancer is incurable. Alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer has a poor prognosis and is prone to liver metastasis. We investigated the association between preoperative serum alpha-fetoprotein levels, liver metastasis, and ...

Alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric cancer
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016 Alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric cancer (AFP-GC) has been reported all over the world, but mostly in Asia. The reported incidence was 6.63% and 1.5e3% in China 1 and Japan, respectively. To my knowledge, there was only one case reported in Taiwan. Herein, I wish to share my experience of the six cases of AFP-GC that I encountered during my career ...

ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN IN ABORTION [PDF]
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1972 The clinical value of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a guide to the outcome of threatened abortion was assessed. After the thirteenth week of gestation, abortion occurred more frequently (10/12) in women with abnormal serum AFP levels than in those (2/12) whose AFP concentrations were within the normal range. Low levels were present in women
